You can add symlinks in %post (whether that's a good idea is another
story), but be sure that all commands in %post *always* succeed (i.e.
exit with return code 0), otherwise the scriptlet will fail.

So find the reason why the command exits with a non-zero return code.

B.t.w., if a command *really* may fail, maybe even with error messages,
you can always consider to use a construction like

	command > /dev/null 2>&1 || :

making this statement always succeed.
